INGREDIENTS:
1 cup ground pork 1/2 cup minced shrimp 5 shallots, finely chopped
salt freshly ground pepper 1 pound white cabbage leaves, blanched
20 whole baby leek or spring onion greens, blanched 6 cups chicken or pork stock 2 tablespoons diced baby leek or spring onion stalks
1 tablespoon cilantro, finely chopped 2 tablespoons fish sauce



1 In a large bowl, mix pork, shrimp and shallots. Season with salt and pepper. Put a tablespoon of the mixture into each cabbage leaf, roll and use the baby leek greens to tie the rolls into parcels.
2 Cook the parcels in salted water for 5 minutes and serve with the chicken or pork stock. Sprinkle with baby leeks, cilantro and freshly ground pepper. Serve with fish sauce, as a dip.
3 The cabbage should be blanched first in boiling water (not in the stock) to remove the bitterness and to soften it for rolling.
